How City Crime Data Is Compiled

City-level crime counts are drawn from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, Crime in the United States, Table 8 (Offenses Known to Law Enforcement by State by City). Per-capita rates use the formula (offenses ÷ population) × 100,000, with population figures from the FBI's reporting tables, cross-checked against U.S. Census Bureau estimates where FBI populations are unavailable.

UCR participation is voluntary, so not every city submits complete data every year. Small-population cities can show volatile rates where a single incident distorts the per-capita figure. Read our full data methodology for the complete pipeline, scoring formula, and limitations.
